Bill Moyers is best known for his journalism, but before entering broadcasting, he served as deputy director of the Peace Corps in the Kennedy Administration and was special assistant to President Johnson from 1963-67, including two years as White House press secretary. Moyers left the White House in January 1967 to serve as publisher for the New York daily, "Newsday," until 1970.

Moyers served as executive editor of Bill Moyersâ?? Journal on public television, senior news analyst for the CBS Evening News, and chief correspondent for CBS Reports.

In 1986, Judith and Bill Moyers formed Public Affairs Television, which has produced more than 300 hours of programming, including such series as Listening to America; Free Speech for Sale; Healing and the Mind; and Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth. Five books by Moyers based on these television series have become bestsellers.

In 1987, a year after the Reagan Iran Contra scandal, PBS aired "The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis," by Bill Moyers. This 90-minute groundbreaking documentary was a scathing critique of the criminal activities of the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government to carry out clandestine operations clearly contrary to the wishes and values of the American people.

During his 25 years in broadcasting, Moyers received every major broadcast journalism award, including two prestigious DuPont Columbia Gold Batons, and 30 Emmy Awards. In 1995, he was elected to the television Hall of Fame.

Bill Moyers spoke at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California on February 12, 2007.
